Apparently it is how it works, I know people who have had state level charges and they can still buy firearms. I don't get the whole guilty by association. He smokes pot and owns gun! All gun owners are terrible and use drugs. That isn't how that works.... Not to mention all the people who illegally own guns and commit crimes with them, they are the ones that makes gun owners look bad. Not someone who smokes pot on occasion and owns guns. Give it a few years and it'll be federally legal anyway. In my state gun owners aren't treated as potential murderers or anything like that at all. In fact it is quite common to own guns here.
